I can't see the image gallery on the www.untitledelement.com site. The flash thing loads, but the images don't. I'm not using windows but ubuntu linux ... Anything to get around the flash?

on topic: i bought the cd 'isis' a year ago in a fnac store. i think you should be able to find it. it's great material!

and Rasta is even easier to get as a cd or lp. No prob cause it's a classical Island reggae album. Rasta is a real great album, the sound is rich and the lyrics too : "Rich and poor they suffer, down ina babylon (...) Zion loves us all"

hi link up
there was a percussionist who performed with aswad from the early 80's up to maybe 1983 or 1984 and who told to my friends here in dakar while he was touring with aswad that it's delroy washington who has groomed and mentored him.he is called david levi;yeah levi.do you know him
anyway give delroy our love and greetings from an aold fan of his from senegal.
so what is he doing now,is he still in the music business,there should be a way to promote the revival or reunion of these vintage artists the more so as people are longing more and more for the good music to come back again
love
